The NCAA tournament may be the most pressure-filled part of the Wildcats’ season on the court, but nothing may compare to now in their off-court existence.
Arizona players are finishing up fall semester classes while playing a total of five games and taking two road trips between now and the end of finals on Dec. 15.
“They have a lot going on,” Miller said. “They have papers and prep for final exams, and in some cases they finish as soon as Saturday – but that’s a game day for us, so our players are working ahead. There’s no question these two weeks (ahead) are the most stressful two weeks because it’s the most pressure they feel. In the spring, their final exams are taken without having the pressure of the season but now both are going on. So wer’e working around the clock to make sure we’re supporting them.”
